Um, from what I've been told, it is a monster/ witch from Russian folklore that spirits children away. I not exactly sure, but I would love to read about them. It also means 'witch', and 'hag'. By the way, love the movie and the book, but the movie is nothing like the book. Might as well call Coraline Annie and have her stay to have buttons sewn into her eyes. Fudge you, Henry Selick!!
Beldam, an archaic word meaning "hag" or "witch", may also refer to an old woman, particularly an ugly one .
Coral Browne was born on July 23, 1913, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

no.... Henry Selick and Tim Burton....... were -Sammy (but the creator of Coraline was the same as The Nightmare Before Christmas)
is George Beldam, Jr. still alive
It seems the coraline beldam has metal claws to defend herself.

Yes because she is constantly tapping her fingers, she wears red and black because shes a Black Widow and near the end when Coraline is at the final showdown with the Beldam, Coraline falls into a giant spider web. I'm not sure why the Beldam is a spider, but she is. I hope that explains a little!
It's actually called the beldam (bell-dum) And it's the "other mother" Beldam actually means an archaic word meaning "hag" or "witch", may also refer to an old woman, particularly an ugly one.
Miss Spink and Miss Forcible give Coraline the special stone as a token of protection against the Beldam, who is trying to lure Coraline into staying in the Other World. The stone acts as a charm to keep Coraline safe on her journey to confront the Beldam.
Alright. When Coraline returns through the little door the 2nd time, the Beldam says "how nice of you to send this nice cheddar, coraline." so then, she says "would you go fetch your father, i bet he's hungry as a PUMPKIN by now" so then, while Coraline and the Beldam is talking, right after coraline figured out her parents are stolen, the other father is a PUMPKIN. and also wen she tries to collect the 1st ghost eye. and, if you have a recording of the whole movie, or if you have the movie, in the other world, when Coraline walks through the theatre, when spink and forcible unzip their disguises, and wen they grab her, pause it. u can see the 2nd ghost eye. the third ghost eye is in mr. b's circus. Now, if your talking about what the NAME of Coraline means, im sorry for being so stupid. Well I looked it up and it says... "Coral (Latin)." i hope that helped if u saw the movie too

In my opinion, Coraline is the best movie ever.
The beldam, also known as the Other Mother, is a fictional character from Neil Gaiman's novella "Coraline." In the story, she is a sinister figure who lures children into a parallel world. While the beldam is not real, she serves as a metaphor for the dangers of temptation and the importance of appreciating one's own life. Her character embodies themes of fear and the sinister aspects of seemingly perfect situations.

It's based on the Book Coraline by Neil Gaiman
In the book and movie "Coraline," Coraline Jones is described as being around 11 years old.
